It’s been a long, cozy, snowy winter in our tiny home, and we’re just starting to defrost! The snow didn’t stop us from working, playing, barbecuing or bonfiring, and with the spring bulbs poking through the ice, more adventure is just around the corner. ✨❄️ #tinyhome #tinyhomes #tinyhomeliving #tinyhouse #tinyhouseliving #tinyhousemovement #houseonwheels #adventuretime #adventureculture #wildernessculture #outdoors #wilderness #gooutside #westcoast #vancouverisland #vanisle #minimalism #minimalist #crunchymama #crunchymom #offgrid

Home sweet home - 300 square feet of house, and 130 acres of wilderness. We’re surrounded by woods, mountains, wild herbs and fruit trees, and a private lake. Truly humbling to be so deeply connected to nature. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #tinyhouse #tinyhome #tinyliving #minimalism #minimalist #lifeofadventures #liveoutdoors #theoutdoorfolk #adventureculture #roadlesstravelled #modernoutdoors #welivetoexplore #bevisuallyinspired #perspective #optoutside #travelawesome #roamtheplanet #adventureculture #wildernessculture #pnw #pnwwonderland #radgirlscollective #likeamountaingirl #theladyalliance #outdoorwomen #womenwhoexplore #wildernessbabes

After a month long break, I thought I’d come back and share this new chapter in my life. We bought a tiny home! . . After weeks of packing, cleaning, moving, working, creating, building... we finally were able to put our roots (or wheels) down. . . Our beautiful 300 sq ft home was built by Guy from @carmanahwoodworkstinyhomes! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #tinyhouse #tinyhome #tinyliving #minimalism #minimalist #lifeofadventures #liveoutdoors #theoutdoorfolk #adventureculture #roadlesstravelled #modernoutdoors #welivetoexplore #bevisuallyinspired #perspective #optoutside #travelawesome #roamtheplanet #adventureculture #wildernessculture #pnw #pnwwonderland #radgirlscollective #likeamountaingirl #theladyalliance #outdoorwomen #womenwhoexplore #wildernessbabes

Sometimes, self care is knowing when to let go of busyness and take time for yourself to rest physically, mentally, spiritually. . . For the next few weeks, I’ll be taking a break from social media. However, you can still find me at @edibleislandca and @inner_strength_acu_and_health - i have appointments available on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Book online or pop in for a free intro! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #cleaneating #balanceddiet #balancednotclean #eatrealfood #foodfreedom #foodasmedicine #intuitiveeating #wholefood #antidiet #nourishingtraditions #wapf #westonaprice #crunchymom #crunchymama #fitpregnancy #healthypregnancy #fitmom #infertility #fertilitydiet #naturalfertility #hypothalamicamenorrhea #amenorrhearecovery #prolactinoma #pituitarytumor #nontoxicliving #cleanliving #holisticnutrition #holisticnutritionist #holisticliving #selfcare

I love October for the crisp air and sunny, clear days. Perfect weather for mountaintop bonfires! . .

A few weeks back, I posted my still-brewing antibacterial and degreasing cleaner made with citrus peels and vinegar. I wanted to share with you the end result, so here it is - a great sanitizing and deodorizing spray, and an effective oil-cutting kitchen cleaner. Pet and kid friendly! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #zerowaste #minimalism #minimalist #clean #cleanliving #cleanlifestyle #nontoxic #nontoxicliving #nontoxiccleaning #naturalcleaning #holisticliving #holistichealth #crunchymom #crunchymama #diy #essentialoils #aromatherapy #plantbased #plantmedicine #herbalmedicine #holisticnutrition #holistichealth

I’m so grateful for the abundance of lobster mushrooms this season! These have to be my favourite to hunt AND eat. . . What’s your favourite mushroom to eat? . . What have you found most of this year on your foraging adventures? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #cleaneating #balanceddiet #balancednotclean #eatrealfood #foodfreedom #foodasmedicine #intuitiveeating #wholefood #antidiet #nourishingtraditions #wapf #westonaprice #crunchymom #crunchymama #fitpregnancy #healthypregnancy #fitmom #nontoxicliving #cleanliving #holisticnutrition #holisticliving #selfcare #herbalmedicine #foraging #wildmushrooms #mushrooms #mushroomhunting

Homestyle cooking - doesn’t always look pretty, but it’s full of love, nourishes the body, and comforts the soul. . . Slow cooked beef roast with gravy, lobster mushrooms in garlic butter, and a salad of fresh local veggies and homemade ranch. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . cleaneating #balanceddiet #balancednotclean #eatrealfood #foodfreedom #foodasmedicine #intuitiveeating #wholefood #antidiet #nourishingtraditions #wapf #westonaprice #crunchymom #crunchymama #fitpregnancy #healthypregnancy #fitmom #infertility #fertilitydiet #naturalfertility #hypothalamicamenorrhea #amenorrhearecovery #prolactinoma #nontoxicliving #cleanliving #holisticnutrition #holisticliving #selfcare #homestyle #comfortfood

Who says candy has to be full of artificial flavours, dyes, corn syrup and refined sugar? . . These sour raspberry gummies are paleo, refined sugar free, and are made with grass fed gelatin. And if you’re unfamiliar with gelatin’s benefits, it shares the same gut healing, joint loving, and hair/skin/nails benefits as collagen! . . . Blend until smooth: -1 1/2 cups of fresh raspberries (strawberries work too!) -2 fresh lemons, peeled -Maple syrup or honey (to taste) - or use stevia for #keto . . Transfer to a small pot, heating up the fruit mixture. Add: -1/4 cup of grass fed gelatin (I use @organikahealth) Whisk vigorously until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Pour into silicon candy moulds, or into a parchment-lined glass baking tray (to be cut later). Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #cleaneating #balanceddiet #balancednotclean #eatrealfood #foodfreedom #foodasmedicine #intuitiveeating #wholefood #antidiet #nourishingtraditions #wapf #westonaprice #crunchymom #crunchymama #fitpregnancy #healthypregnancy #fitmom #infertility #fertilitydiet #naturalfertility #hypothalamicamenorrhea #amenorrhearecovery #prolactinoma #nontoxicliving #cleanliving #holisticnutrition #holisticnutritionist #paleo #paleodiet
